A really good round-up. It got me thinking about who caused the biggest shock in the pool. Maybe in 2015 we could see another category – Biggest Upset of the Year.

I really do think that Romain Barnier deserves some form of mention. Coaching all 4 members of the worlds-winning 4×100 Fr Relay in the same club deserves some credit. Not to mention the fact that Manaudou is in his charge, alongside massive improvements my Mignon and Metella! Marseilles seems to be the place to be for sprinting at the moment.
